Unique, original, but above all, a place for an unforgettable experience. Will you join us?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>10. Stockholm: Grand Hotel Stockholm<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since 1874, this hotel has been the place where celebrities, high-profile events and bon vivants come together. The hotel is in the best imaginable location in the city: on the waterfront, overlooking the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan (Stockholm\u2019s old town). \u201cThe Grand\u201d is home to, among other things, the classic Swedish Veranda restaurant, which is known for its traditional sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord (Swedish festive meal), Mathias Dahlgren's Michelin-starred restaurant and the spectacular Cadier Bar. To here with our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/incentives\/incentive-reis-naar-stockholm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">groups<\/a><\/strong> Being allowed to stay overnight is always so special each time...<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Grand H\u00f4tel Stockholm\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LKddi3vgzlM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>9. Limburg: Chateau Holtmuhle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Back to the romance of the Middle Ages? At Chateau Holtmuhle you can stay in a truly authentic castle. The hotel is located in the middle of the stunning Limburg countryside, known for its expansive landscapes and endless fields. A gourmet dinner is not to be missed during a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meeting<\/a><\/strong>, group tour or event cannot be missed, of course. The team at Die Alde Heerlickheijt will certainly see to that.

Barcelona: W-hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Mediterranean climate in versatile Barcelona makes it a wonderful place to stay. It is a city with a huge wealth of culture, chic shops, authentic tapas bars and a wonderful beach. In addition, you can stay in the most luxurious hotels, such as the W Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The W hotel, in the shape of a sailboat, is one of Barcelona's most striking buildings. Staying in this hotel is synonymous with sublime luxury. A visit to the W lounge and the Eclipse bar on the top floor of the hotel is a must-do on group trips to Barcelona., <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/incentives\/incentive-reis-barcelona-it-bedrijf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like this<\/a><\/strong>. From the hotel room you have a fantastic view over the city or the Mediterranean Sea. Restaurant BRAVO24 by the world-famous Catalan chef Carles Abell\u00e1n has earned a Michelin star, but Salt on the beach (with its own swimming pool) is also well worth a visit. Enjoy! With 473 rooms, it offers plenty of possibilities for large group trips.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"DIVE INTO THE CURRENT | W BARCELONA HOTEL\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9kKr2bms1T4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Edinburgh: Balmoral Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Victorian-built Balmoral Hotel (with 188 rooms) is a striking landmark in the heart of Edinburgh thanks to its clock tower. It is home to one of the most famous clocks in the world! Fun fact: legend has it that the clocks have been set three minutes fast since 1902, so that citizens would never miss their train. Would it work?! J.K. Rowling wrote her last two Harry Potter books here, in room 522 to be precise. This room was later renamed the J.K. Rowling Suite. This suite costs around \u00a31,000 a day and is very popular among Harry Potter fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unique:<\/strong> From the hotel you can admire Edinburgh Castle and restaurant Number One is also definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/balmoral-hotel.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9572\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/balmoral-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"balmoral hotel edinburgh\" width=\"925\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/balmoral-hotel.jpg 925w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/balmoral-hotel-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/balmoral-hotel-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6.

Amsterdam \u2013 Hotel Jakarta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This luxury \u2018green\u2019 four-star hotel is one of the first energy-neutral hotels in the Netherlands.

Lisbon: Hotel Tivoli Lisboa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hotel Tivoli Lisboa, the best 5-star hotel in Lisbon!
